 Please Note: Students only had two small movie making/animation assignments up until this point and had much practice with presenting and presentation web tools. This project is designed to push them out of their comfort level and move above and beyond their skill level with the technology.

Most students pushed back saying, "this is too hard" even before they started. At the end of the project, students changed their minds, saying, "That was easy. When can we do this again?"

While we will not be delving into the specifics of PBL, it is highly recommended you consider how PBL could support learning and teaching in your classroom.
